IMO this is design failure of RPi3 and overheating issue as well

This is an RPi2 issue, but I agree the RPi3 is the Ford Edsel of SBC.

OT: I've been doing some testing and Xbian on RPi3 draws a max of 850ma so why there is so many problems, I do not know.

I also tried to install android marshmallow but that failed with RSOD (Rainbow screen of death) Similar to BSOD but without the useless comments on how to solve it. That only used 280ma.

So I think, as rikardo mentioned, there might be a kernel issue here.

I blame the Chinese, I reckon they just slap a 2amp sticker on a 750ma PSU and say "Ha, stupid euro, no no divrence, we build crap bot dey buy, no probrum"

Bottom line, (My personal opinion) stay clear of the RPi3 until all of the guano is sorted out.
